Why u not used escrow.
LOL
Lot of people don't want to use escrow because the 1% fee (or whatever) is too much I guess.
I was blindsided by my own greed and this:
Welcome to my second hardware lease of the week, this time up for grabs is a ~320GH/s KNC Saturn for a 90 day term.
Since I do not pay electricity costs (much to the dismay of my landlord I'm sure) I am offering this lease at a rate that is equitable for both parties, I get instant capital which will be used to buy additional hardware, you get a steady income of coins which total significantly more than the investment by the end of the lease.
normally of course I'd use escrow, it's often free or for tips. this deal seemed to preclude it. I should have just ignored it.
